Thiel Owners

Hi guys (and gals) I'm happy to announce that I'm now the proud owner of a new set 3.7 nos. It was the last set that Rob Gilliam had and I'm breaking them in with about 50 hours on them. I have to take back my earlier opinion stating that the 3.5 are good enough for low volume listening. The 3.7 are clearly a major step forward in all areas of listening experience even driving them with my modest amp a Bryston 3b st. I can't wait for a set of 7b St to arrive so I can provide the current that these speakers deserve.

I see that the 3.7’s have an efficiency rating of 90db whereas the 3.5 is 88db. Does the efficiency difference offer a better low-level listening experience with the 3.7?  I’ve been able only to move up the food chain to the 3.6 which, in my humble opinion, did not offer the range at low listening levels although it did typically Thiel stuff when I went out of my comfort zone. 

Congrats on grabbing that pair!

Brand new 3.7s? Wow, nice!

Yes, brand new, old stock. Low volume sounds great with my amp, better then high volume when it starts to be a little bright. All the reviews about the quality of these speakers are raving and I can only agree.

Congrats with the 3.7, hope to have them one time also.
